This morning we learned of the most MASSIVE system crash to occur this year It's causing flights being grounded at levels never before seen, among other major issues impacting all of the U.S. in particular. A recent faulty update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has caused widespread disruptions to Windows systems globally, affecting businesses in various sectors, including airlines, financial institutions, and retail chains. The update led to Windows workstations crashing and experiencing Blue Screens of Death (BSOD). While Mac and Linux systems remain unaffected, CrowdStrike has identified and deployed a fix, urging affected users to manually delete a specific driver file in Safe Mode. This incident underscores the critical need for IT infrastructure diversity and robust fail-safe mechanisms to mitigate the impact of such unforeseen technical issues on business operations. Below is how you can patch this problem as described in the video: First try to restart the server. If that doesn't fix it, restart again up to 15 times (seriously). If that doesn't clear it up, you can remove the corrupted file in safe mode: 路 Boot Windows in Safe Mode or Windows Recovery Environment (if you have BitLocker, you'll need a recovery key, so have it ready) 路 Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory 路 Find the file named "C-00000291*.sys" and delete it 路 Restart the computer or server normally Download BreachCast from the iOS App Store to get live breach, CVE, and media news all specific for IAM professionals.
